A. Bootless Attack.

Tuer publie were quite prepared for a ‘heavy ouslaughi” by the Patriot in its issue of Saturday. The appointment of Mr. Donald Montgomery—an Islander of merit—a native of Belfast—one of those who suffered most unjustly at the hands of the late Government—to the office of Chief would, of

of our

Superintendent of Education indignation

: 1 course, excite tie

patriotic contemporary ; indignation is chronic, and its policy is to oppose. idut venture to say, expected that Messrs. Prowse, LeFurgey, DeBlois and Gordon would be denounced 43 traitors to the late Superintendent. These gentlemen are not of the kind gen- erally regarded as traitors to any man ; and we fecl confident that if they have been bound in honor, as the Patriot asserts, to retain Mr. Manning in office, they would have done so, even though they might think that the public interest would there- Some one has

no one, we

by, to some extent, suffer. said that ‘“‘character is a shield against and the characters of these gentlemen are so well established in the minds of those whose esteem is worth hav- ing, that the caluminies of the Patriot pass them by as the idle wind which inanely yy their houses as they placidly

calumny” ;

wiustles sit within The efrontery of the Patriot is rather too ridiculous. ‘Three years ago Mr. Don- ald Montgomery was, after years of patient,

faithful, successful labor—without the slightest cause—without previous notice,

and only a few days after he had been publicy commended ky the best educational-

- ists in the Provincc—summarily dismissed

the office of Head Master of the Normal School. [lad the Pvtriot anything to say azainst this outrage? Not a word. How utterly ridiculous, then, is its affected in- dignation over the dismissal of Mr. Mann- ing.

Nor will the plea that the appointment was a political one avail the Patriot. Pre- vious to his dismissal, Mr. Montgomery was no more a politician than is Mr. Manning. Moreover, Mr. Montgomery had given great satisfaction to the people, and was ex- ceedingly popular ; but, while no one dis- putes Mr. Manning’s learning or culture, or his capacily as a teacher, it is, nevertheless, a fact that he has!not-—especially in country

districts -- given satisfaction as Chief Superintendent of Education. From a

political standpoint, the appointment of Mr. Montgomery is to be regretted most of all by the Government ; for by it they have lost one of their ablest supporters in the Legislature. True, the seat of Mr. Montgomery will be filled by another sup- porter ; but it will be difficult, indeed, to find a man of equal power in the Co.ncils of the country, and we can only infer that the Government sincerely believed they were acting in the best interests of the country when they deprived themselves of one of their best supporters in the House of Assembly in order to make Mr. Mont- gomery Chief Superintendent of Education. That Mr. Montgomery, in this capacity, will give auple satisfaction to the people of the Province, we have no doubt. sice—-ihiaiecrsiialiiliacasiieiliuiaanindtinisaee

The Revenre.

(From the Toronto Bail.)

| Another point has been reached in the \discussion of the state of the revenue. | Some time ago we were enabled to say that ithe returns for August would be of a very | satisfactory character, and our anticipations lare fully realized. Comparing the first eicht months of this year with the first eight months of last year the balance in

overwhelming comment on the ‘Globe's’ melancholy wails about our ‘‘declining 'revenne.” For the last two months, July and August, as compared with the same months last year, the revenue shows an in- crease of $118,276. Of course the next three months, September, October, -0- vember, will show a probably larger in- crease. Our hope indeed is that it will not show too large an _ increase, as We shall not be pleased to “think that our importers are over-stocking them- selyes or discounting prosperity. If our contemporaries, who are now taking Sir A. T. Galt’s address as a text, and endeavor- ing to show that our tariff is disloyal to England, will but wait for a short period longer, they will be able to see from trust- worthy sources the actual result of the tariff. That it has not been so fatal to British trade will be proved ; that it? has beon ef- fectual against our nearer rivals will plainly be seen; and that it has enabled us to regain a good portion of our West India trade will also be made apparent. We shall not be surprised to learn, for instance, that our sugar importations from the West Indies, which last year, in the quarter ending in June, were only say 4,000,000 pounds weight, will this year prove to be nearly 8,000,000 pounds weight, or nearly 14,- 000,000 pounds more than last year.

AQUATIC. HANLAN At Coavtravqua Lake.—James- town, N. Y., despatch of the 26th says .— Hanlan, accompanied by 8. Coulson and J. G. Adar, arrived at Maysville, on Thurs- day night, bringing with him three boats. He is looking well and seems in good con- dition. Hecalled on Courtney yesterday forenoon, both rowing on the lake in the afternoon. Both were satisfied with the course marked out. The Chautauqua railroad are laying a track to the starting point. The race is to take place on Oct. 6th. PEDESTRIAN CONTEST.

New York, Sept. 26, 3.45 p. m.—It is rumored that Rowell has been poisoned, and is partly out of his mind. There is great excitement in the garden. Atkinson is with Rowell. It is said that Rowell has undoubtedly been tampered with. How his food or drink was tampered with is shrouded in mystery. There is much in- dignation over the report of this dastardly act. Dr. Mott has just left Rowell’s tent, and says Rowell had a fit and was in con- vulsions. He denies Rowell was poisoned. Rowell was again on the track at 1.26 p.m., and going siowly around. He looks broken down. Doctors say he has been out of his head, but is now getting all nght. The excitement continues, and the attendants of Rowell say the whole story will come out ou Monday, and certain sporting men will never dare to appear in England again. . The following was the score at 3 o’clock :

Souris Preakwater. To the Editor of the Examiner.

Str,—In your issue of the EXAMINER, of the 20th inst., appears @ communication from Souris, signed **/ ustice,” reflecting upon me, as the foreman on the Souris Breakwater con- | tract-—that Pierce Doyle, Esquire (save the ware 'who or what under heaven, or earth, made Pierce a Squire), the contractor, ‘lis- charged me and employed another foreman, who is rapidly forwardingthe werk. The truth is, I discharged myself, my wages (an import- ant item) not being forthcoming; and | trus* the Supreme Court here, m October, will adjudge to me my rights. ‘Justice evidently knows but little about the antecedents of this great second-hand contractor, and more par- ticularly, intinitly less of the work at Souris. The nominal Government Inspector, I am con- fident, knows buf little how the important requirements of the contract has been per- formed—the ballasting, iron fastening, ete., etc. I do not hesitate to say that the Do- minion Government, twelve months hence, will know, and be much better prepared to form a fair estimate of the work, and how near they are to making Souris a ‘harbor of refuge,”’ etc.

Rev. Dr. O’Brien, P. P. of Indian River, and Miss Hannah O’Brien, left this morn- ing en route for Sherbrook, Montreal, and other points in Quebec.

Oats are worth one cent per Ib. on ac- count at the different Railway stations. Shippers should establish their price for oats at once, as large lots can now be ob- tained, we having good roads to haul on.

People would gladly sell potatoes at 20 cents now, or during the shipping season, and shippers would do well to make known their intentions—as soon as possible.

The country in many places is being cleared out of their lambs and sheep by foreign buyers—much to our farmer's satis- faction.

Wk intimated to our readers a few days ago that the most attractive feature of the Domin- ion Exhibition at Ottawa will probably be the Manitoba display. But when we did that we were not aware that the Manitobese were going to furnish specimens of the wonderfully fertile soils which they are priviliged to culti- vate. We supposed they were contenting themselves with an exhibit of the products of their lands. They have gone further. They have placed in their show fourteen samples of earth taken from various localities in their province. From an inspection of these not only adepts in agricultural chemistry but also ordinary farmers will be able to form an intelligent opinion of the surprising capabili- ties of the land in the prairie Province. The soils are described as being of amazing rich- ness. They are exhibited intin cases four feet long, having glass fronts and backs. They are attracting great attention, and will pro bably win many a good settler for the land on which they reflect so much credit,— St. John News.
